Amcor and Berry Global Group are combining their businesses by mid-calendar year 2025, subject to closing conditions. The packaging giants aim to establish a “global leader” in consumer and healthcare packaging solutions, combined with material science and innovation capabilities. In November, Amcor announced it would acquire Berry Global for US$8.43 billion. The deal aims to create a new company capable of providing a far wider range of flexible and converted films, scaled containers and closures, and a unique global healthcare portfolio.
